Notes:
Transformation of dependent variables as, for example, the Kirchhoff transformation, is a classical tool for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. This approach is used here in connection with the finite element method and explained first in case of nonlinear heat conduction problems without phase change. The main applications of the method given in the paper concern a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation for fluid flow through a porous medium and Stefan (moving boundary) problems.
